Where's the proof?
Many studies have been done describing the benefits of Recreational Therapy. In a study conducted by Williams, Barrett, Vercoe, Maahs-Flaudung, Loy, et al. in 2007 entitled, “Effects of Recreational Therapy on Functional Independence From People Recovering from Stroke,” researchers found incorporating consistent CTRS interventions proved to improve Functional Independence as evidenced by PT, OT, SLP measures on the Functional Independence Measure. Certainly, despite not being conducted on other populations, this research is consistent with the myriad of studies completed describing the impact that a CTRS has on clients and families.
